    The Amjet Corporation imported her into the USA from Bournemouth in the early 1990s, so I presume they were its owners before it changed hands via Courtesy.

    Thanks for the news Roy.
    Did XE339 still have an intact wasp/bee emblem on its hooter?

    The best of luck with the restoration, and to the owner of WV903 as well.

    PM Paul Flynn (Relight9) as he may be able to help.
    I’m sure he has records for his JP Mk.4 which were retrieved from the RAF Museum.

    According to this site, there is a Royal Saudi Arabian Air Force Museum at Riyadh.

    John Aldington hasn’t changed much since 1974 🙂

    As to their historic significance in the UK were they new build aircraft when they went to the Swiss or refurbished ex-RAF machines? If the latter they have a certain meaning in terms of UK aviation history (probably as one of the last decent export stories)

    These two were new-build machines.
    There are a couple of F58As based in the UK that were formerly RAF aeroplanes. Miss Demeanour for instance started out as RAF F.4 XF947, but was bought back and converted to F-58A specification as J-4104.

    What were the orginal Swiss serials?

    ZZ190 was J-4066 G-HHAE/G-BXNZ
    ZZ191 was J-4058 G-HHAD/G-BWFS

    If these rumours are true, then it would only be a Centaurus’ powered aeroplane surely?
    Hmm…

    So it’s a ‘permit to fly’ issue, how do they operate the Tiger Moth and Rapide flights at duxford?
    John.

    The Rapides and a number of Tiger Moths are operated under Transport permits, so they are permitted to carry passengers.

    Whatever system of starting is devised, it will not be as impressive as the plume of black smoke emitted when using the current method!

    Cheers

    I certainly agree with that, and the same goes for the sound.
    I thought that the Hunter T7/T8/GA11 cartridge start was loud, until I heard WV908 at Kemble 😮 😀

    I believe that ARC are fitting a data tracking system to WV908, that will help monitor the aeroplane’s health.
    A similiar system has been fitted inside one of ARC/HFL’s Spitfires, ‘RN201’ I think?

    Information is a bit out-of-date there I think 😉
    After further research XE665 was indeed the last of the three Admiral Barges, the ‘2nd’ statement present on the page is obviously duff info.
    I will inform the webmaster of his sin 🙂
